Setting up scheduled recording on ClonerAlliance UHD Halo¶
The ClonerAlliance UHD Halo supports scheduled (timed) recording, allowing you to set up recordings in advance that will start and stop automatically at the specified times.
Prerequisites¶
Before setting up scheduled recording, ensure the following:
System time is correct: Navigate to Menu → System Settings → System Time and verify the date and time. An accurate system clock is essential for scheduled recording to work properly.
Time zone is set: Verify your time zone under Menu → System Settings → Time Zone.
Storage device is connected: Insert a USB device or TF card and confirm it is recognized (side LED lights up).
Video source is connected: Connect your HDMI or Type-C source device.
How to Add a Scheduled Recording Task¶
Press MENU on the remote control to open the main menu.
Navigate to Schedule Recording.
Select Add to create a new recording task.
Configure the following parameters:
Start Time — Set the date and time when the recording should begin.
End Time — Set the date and time when the recording should stop.
Repeat — Choose the repeat mode:
Once — Record one time only.
Daily — Repeat the recording every day at the same time.
Weekdays — Repeat on Monday through Friday.
Weekends — Repeat on Saturday and Sunday.
Storage Device — Select the target storage device (USB or TF card) if both are connected.
Press OK to save the scheduled task.
Managing Scheduled Tasks¶
View tasks: Open Menu → Schedule Recording to see all scheduled recording tasks.
Edit tasks: Select an existing task and choose Edit to modify its settings.
Delete tasks: Select a task and choose Delete to remove it.
The UHD Halo supports multiple scheduled recording tasks simultaneously.
How Scheduled Recording Works¶
At the scheduled start time, the UHD Halo will automatically begin recording from the connected video source.
At the scheduled end time, the recording will automatically stop and the file will be saved to the selected storage device.
If the device is in standby mode, it will wake up automatically at the scheduled start time.
Note
Ensure that the video source device is powered on and outputting a signal before the scheduled start time. If no signal is detected at the start time, the recording may begin with a black or blank frame.
